It relies on the 5 user making use of word processor and graphics software to prepare documents and illustrations before importing them into the DTP software. Often DTP software has only basic word processing and graphics facilities. A facility to import photographs and video images is also provided. Why does it offer only basic word processing and graphics? Part 2 DTP software can be thought of as integrated word processing and graphics, with additional features to enable pages to be laid out in columns and illustrations to be inserted. 1 2 3 What two computer applications does DTP integrate? List the features that DTP software provides. Task 6 Read Part 2 of the text to answer these questions.
